What We Were
We were oil and water
Immiscible
Not right for each other
Unable to mix
Oil always thought it was better than water
We were alcohol and fire
Dangerous together
One made the other stronger
While the other faded away
Disappearing into nothing
We were soap and water
A cliché partnership
Pretty much expected
Worked well together
It seemed to make sense
We were fruit and vegetable
One sweeter than the other
A healthy relationship
But seeds needed to be removed
They would cause problems
We were Hydrogen and Oxygen
H2O
Perfect combination
Together we were something so much more
Than when we were apart
We were curvy and straight
One out of the ordinary
One perfectly normal
Two different styles
And perspectives
We were left and right
Fate tried to send us in different directions
But we ignored the signs
No serendipity
Didn’t need fate's approval
I was me
He was him
We were us
And together...
We were perfectly imperfect
